My failing memory tells me that there was a version of 550 that had at least one IC in it.
per band and the API 550B, a 4-Band parametric equalizer with 7 fixed cutoff points per band.
Print; Author Topic: API 550a vs 550b? (Read 11620 times) Haolemon. Oddly enough, I have a few 550-As that fit that description, that I suspect should have said 550-A1, but for some reason don't. This would suggest that the 550a sounds "better".
Modeled on the late 1960’s legend, the API 550A EQ delivers a sound that has been a hallmark of high end studios for decades. Anyone can comment on why the 3 band eq is more expensive that the 4 band? « on: January 16, 2006, 08:57:05 pm » In terms of functinality, the 550b would seem to offer more flexibility, yet the 550a costs considerably more.
API 550a vs 550b?
Not so with the 550-A1. Is it simply because the 550a is a reissue? This would suggest that the 550a sounds "better".
Somehow the bottom end seemed a bit mushier on the 550b.You need an account to post a reply. I have to be careful how hard I hit them before they break up, where as I can hit the 550As really hard without any farting.Years ago (back when the covered wagons were crossing the prairie...) Sunset Sound had an API outlet upstairs.
Looking at the 3 band 550a vs the 4 band 550b. Decades after the release of the original 550A EQ, API redesigned this classic with an additional band, broken into the following selectable frequencies: Low: 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 Hz

Another difference, I have been told, is that on the 550-A, the Q widens as you boost a frequency.

I fell in love with them in the Record Plant Remote truck some years ago and never broke off the relationship... and so it goes. Based on API's original 550 from the late '60s, the API 550b is a continuation of the EQ that played a major role in the history of music recording, but with an additional filter band and several new frequencies. Is it simply because the 550a is a reissue? The API 550 also features a dedicated band-pass filter set to 50 Hz and 15 kHz, which can be toggled on or off.
Anyone remember what version that was?The 550b sounds SLIGHTLY cleaner, somehow, than the 550a... so in some ways that difference means that it's not inreaosnable to have a preference between them, and to many people the a sounds "better".Doc, the 550-A1 has one 2520 and one IC in it. I love the 560Bs, but they and the 550A1s tend to lack the headroom of the 550As. Anyone can comment on why the 3 band eq is more expensive that the 4 band?

I would appreciate any comments from those who have used both. My experience with API EQ is limited to the wonderful 560.I dunno man I've got both and my opinion falls with the top feeling better on the 550 and the versatilty of the 550b.I think it's a measure of scale... API makes more 550b's than 550A's so it probably brings the 'cost per unit' down... me, I'm a 560 [graphic] fan when it comes to API EQ's so I never really studied the A vs. b thing all that closely.Are the 550Bs fully disrete like the 550As?
It provides reciprocal equalization at 15 points in 5 steps of boost divided into three overlapping ranges.
Incorporating API's exclusive circuitry and proprietary components (such as the legendary API 2520 Op Amp), the 550b artfully blends the past with the present. Too many frequencies to just grab and eq like you can with the 550a plus I never thought the "b" sounded as good just passing audio. Is it simply because the 550a is a reissue?I never like the 550b personally.
